Consult A Bicycle Accident Lawyer With A Record of Success

Bicycle riders suffer a staggering number of serious injuries and fatalities in accidents involving motor vehicles, and those accidents are usually the fault of the motor vehicle drivers. In 2016, according to the NHTSA, 60,000 bicyclists were injured in traffic accidents in the United States and 840 were killed. As bike riders know, drivers of cars and trucks usually do not pay adequate attention to their surroundings, do not respect the rights of cyclists, and do not look for cyclists, even in bike lanes and crosswalks, before making moves that can endanger their lives. All too often, bike riders are injured or killed by motorists who fail to check their blind spot before changing lanes, make right turns directly in front of oncoming bicyclists, sideswipe them traveling on the shoulder, open doors in front of them, drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fail to stop at stop signs, pull out from driveways or side streets without looking, or otherwise proceed in a manner which results in a bicycle crash and risks the lives of cyclists. Most motorists are in fact ignorant of the California laws which protect bicyclists and give them the same rights to use the streets as motorists.

The Law Office of Daniel H. Rose is a bicycle accident law firm with decades of experience representing bicyclists injured on San Francisco Bay Area roads in personal injury and wrongful death claims.

At what point should you consult a bike accident lawyer?

Following an injury accident, it is very important to consult with a qualified bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible. If you let too much time go by before consulting a lawyer, valuable evidence may be lost, witnesses may disappear, and the other party's insurance company may take advantage of you. As soon as we take on your bicycle accident injury case, we begin a full and thorough investigation and take swift action to secure and protect relevant evidence.

What types of compensation are recoverable in a bicycle accident claim?

The Law Office Of Daniel H. Rose is a proficient and experienced personal injury law firm with a long history of obtaining for clients the compensation and accountability they deserve. An individual who injures a cyclist may be held liable for a wide variety of damages, including past and future medical and rehabilitation costs, lost earnings and earning potential, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, loss of parental or spousal financial support, loss of spousal relations, property damage, incidental expenses, and many other types of physical, economic, and sometimes even punitive damages that result from the accident. Damages may be recovered even when the identity of the driver is unknown, such as in a hit and run accident, if the bicyclist is covered by a motor vehicle insurance policy containing uninsured motorist coverage. We will work relentlessly to obtain the financial compensation you deserve, to make the legal process as simple and painless as possible, and do our utmost to take pressure off you and your family, so that you may concentrate on recovering.

Why you need a bike accident attorney

Some people who have been injured in accidents believe that they can handle resolving their claim without hiring a qualified bicycle accident lawyer, and they attempt to work out a settlement directly with insurance companies. This is not advisable. Insurance companies are in the business of making money by collecting premiums and paying out as little as possible for claims. If a victim is not represented by a qualified bike accident attorney, an insurance company will almost always try to settle the claim to the insurance company's advantage.

Until an injured person hires a personal injury attorney, the insurance company knows that the injured person is not prepared to take the case to court. When dealing with accident victims, insurance companies usually pretend at the outset that they want to fairly compensate the victim, but then take advantage of them by taking a recorded statement from the victim, have them examined by their doctors, and otherwise build their case against them, and end up offering an unfairly low settlement amount. Avoid letting this happen to you by contacting a bicycle accident attorney at a qualified personal injury law firm. If you do talk to the insurance company, do not allow yourself to be recorded and do not sign any papers. It is best to leave all communications and dealings to an experienced bicycle injury lawyer.

I cannot say enough about how absolutely great Dan Rose is!! Our daughter was hit by a pickup truck on her bicycle and Dan handled everything professionally, compassionately, and so effectively. Dan is also a bicyclist and advocate for cyclists so he really knows this area. I recommend him with absolutely no reservations!

Laura

Last summer I was badly injured in a bicycle accident. Even though I am an attorney and could have represented myself, after interviewing Dan and researching his background I decided to retain him. I am very thankful that I did. Dan is a fantastic personal injury attorney. I was very impressed by his depth of knowledge and expertise. He achieved an excellent result in a very short period of time.
